Brutha Hustle's Mobile Bill Payment Center presents Open-Air Kultural Theater—a very pleasant way to pay your bills while becoming more enlightened, informed and entertained. And he has plenty of Juicy-Juice on ice for the kids.

Brutha Hustle: "Welcome, bill-paying friends. Standing in line to pay your bills can be quite boring. So I added open-air cultural performances to my mobile street-corner business. During the bill-payment process, a variety of fine artists, writers, singers, musicians, teachers, church choirs, praise dancers, drill teams, rappers, etc., will entertain customers who frequently use the mobile bill-paying center.

"The true purpose of the Open-Air Kultural Theater is to ease the troubled minds of financially challenged individuals living in an insensitive society. Cultural entertainment, mixed with education and information, gives bill-paying consumers—trapped inside the cycle of oppression—more incentive to feed the global, corporate machine.

"The Open-Air Kultural Theater functions like television and other media—without the unreality shows, baby-momma-drama soap operas, and 'fright-witness' news. My educated friends call it: 'Theater-In-and-Around the Ghetto.'

"The Open-Air Kultural Theater closes with a very brief and poignant haiku performance by Brutha Sylvester, 'Christmas Missing-Toe' artist, author, poet and playwright, from his one-man play titled 'Convenience Stores, Crack Pipes, and High Livin' in the Ghetto.'"

Brutha Sylvester: "Device for escape.
Glass art taped on plexiglass.
Crack pipe for sale."

I keep bashing my head against my desk trying to understand the seemingly organic "need" for folks of a certain political persuasion to purposely misspell words in English. I think this peculiarity began in the 60's with words such as "Amerika." I assume this misspelling was to denigrate the word and country--perhaps allusions to the Third Reich? Now we have "Kids' Kollege" and "Kultural Theater." Why would anyone want to teach children how to misspell words? It "ain't" cute, it "ain't" funny. It's only ignorant. Nothing more, nothing less.

We have a president who says "misunderestimate" and can't pronounce "nuclear" correctly, among other things; I'd say "Kids' Kollege" (as irritating as I find those kinds of "cute" spellings to be) is the least of our worries. Cheers, TH

My apologies for offending you, HDMatthias, MD. Please do not injure yourself because of my purposed misspellings. :-) I keep bashing my head against my desk trying to understand the seemingly organic "need" for folks of a certain political persuasion to purposely misspell words in English.

President George Bush is either stupid, dyslexic, or both. However, his obvious problems with the English language do not support other's misuse. What was it?----STRA-TE-GER-Y? hdm
